Johnson Matthey

Johnson Matthey can trace its roots back to 1817, when P.N. Johnson set up business as a gold assayer in London. In 1852, the company was appointed official assayer and refiner to the Bank of England.

The firm is no longer involved in precious metals refining, having sold that arm of the business in 2015, and now focusses on chemicals and sustainable technologies.

Johnson Matthey and Pauwels

Johnson Matthey and Pauwels were a Belgian subsidary of Johnson Matthey.

Note To Potential Investors

Our advice usually follows that for a pure investment purchase you should compare premiums and go for the lowest possible. These are often, but not always, on coins rather than bars.

Remember that coins also have an advantage when you come to sell as you can sell part of your collection. Say for instance you have 16 gold 1 oz coins instead of a 500g gold bar. You can sell say 5 of these when the price is right and it suits you whereas you would have to part with the full gold bar in a single transaction.
